Ecclesiastes 10:2
World English Bible (WEB)
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
In context
1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
